Summary: Predicted to enable hydro-lyase activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of calcium-mediated signaling. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; ear; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Used to study cerebellar ataxia, impaired intellectual development, and dysequilibrium syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebellar ataxia, impaired intellectual development, and dysequilibrium syndrome 3. Orthologous to human CA8 (carbonic anhydrase 8).

Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) carbonic anhydrase 8 (Car8) expression is variable across 25 naive-inbred strains of mice, and this cis-regulated quantitative trait locus is correlated with nociceptive responses in mice.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
